When Costco customers purchase an electronic device, they’re usually given the opportunity to purchase Square Trade protection, which provides coverage that goes past what the standard manufacturer’s warranty offers. Square Trade protection from Costco guards against most types of accidental damage or damage done through normal use, but it won’t cover damage that’s deemed “outside of normal use.” To register a Costco Square Trade purchase, customers will need to enter their Costco membership number, their Costco last name, and their e-mail address to make a new Costco Square Trade account (that will then be used for every subsequent Square Trade purchase).

Square Trade Costco Notes

Easy to use

Members who already have a Costco Square Trade account can just log in and enter their new Square Trade number to activate their new membership

If a customer purchased a cellphone protection plan through Costco.com, they will need to check their confirmation e-mail to find out how to activate their warranty coverage
